Tooling around West Oakland recently, I found this mural done by the TDK crew this year. It commemorates the 1989 earthquake which involved the flattening of a double deck freeway that ran through this part of Oakland. Many people who lived in this poor neighborhood rushed to the collapsed freeway, and climbed the unstable structure to rescue people trapped in their cars. Their heroism remains a strong memory to this day.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for
you. Just follow the Linky steps below. You get to decide what
constitutes a mural. Once you start looking, you find them everywhere. Be sure to link back to this blog and to visit your
fellow posters. Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week.
